VMware releases HCL for ESXi 4.0
Whew! And about perfect timing for me.
I was helping a friend understand that he could not operate ESXi 4.0 on his old server because of the requirement for a 64bit CPU environment.
Today, VMware released this blog post touting the updates and a link to their actual hardware compatibility list, which covers vSphere 4.0 ESX and ESXi, and I bet it still has the older 3.5 HCL as well.
That’s a lot of servers… thanks VMware!

A storage cluster is born
about 3 months ago - 25 comments
It is time to add space to our VMware cluster for storage of VMs for our customers. We started initially using Compellent SAN storage. Worked well, had a lot of space, but the performance was not what I was looking for (it is all SATA based), using F/C is far more complicated than we need More >
Example cost: Virtual Private Cloud (updated)
about 7 months ago - No comments
Back in September, 2009, I had written a post with a quick overview of what a private cloud (or infrastructure) looks like and some basic costs and information, including why it is a great product (I am biased). Since then, Dell has retired the PE2900III model server and items change, this is an update for More >
Shell service available
about 7 months ago - 1 comment
Been a long week and I had to deal with some red tape internally (of my own creation!), but finally have some working shell service to sell to people who want it. I had posted last week about the issue(s) of shell services and decided that I would do the work to put this kind More >
VMware releases vSphere 4.0 Update 1
about 9 months ago - No comments
The crowd cheers! Though that might just be me :) I am very excited for this update and I hope that it goes as smoothly as other updates have gone. I have already updated 2 non-production systems (both ESX) and I am in the process of updating some non-production ESXi servers. One of the items I More >
Example cost: Virtual Private Cloud on VMware
about 1 year ago - 1 comment
In the last 6 months, I have helped multiple customers achieve their dream of a virtual machine environment built for them exclusively, but with abilities to control their virtual machine setup, configuration, turn up, tear down, etc. These dedicated infrastructure environments are in the ipHouse data center. This isn’t ‘cloud computing’ as many people think More >
VMware vSphere takes me by storm
about 1 year ago - No comments
Official download was available on May 21st, 2009, and I was waiting anxiously for my license keys for the new vCenter (management console) and host license keys (that which is the hypervisor)… I got them on that day, and then proceeded to spend way too much time with it. For some people, addiction is a bad thing. More >

Tomorrow, May 21st, 2009, normal people around the world will get a chance to download VMware’s newest edition of their infrastructure ’cloud operating system’ products named vSphere.

ipHouse releases VMware based server services
about 1 year ago - 5 comments
Virtualization, one of the buzzwords flying around the Internet today, is a method of running separate servers (guests) with separate operating systems on shared physical hardware (the host). I wrote a quick summary back in February, 2009 that should help give some context. Here at ipHouse, we have chosen to use VMware for our virtualization More >
Virtualization War II (VWII)
about 1 year ago - 1 comment
Oooh, the virtualization wars are reaching a new level, and with this new video from Microsoft we have reached a new level of marketing misdirection with some future capabilities included. The video focuses on 10 items that VMware says they have over Hyper-V…that are being refuted by the marketing and tech guy in the video. More >
Virtualization and you – the business user
about 1 year ago - 2 comments
Why virtualize? Better yet, why use virtualized server services for your business? I’ll try to answer that question in this blog post, though from a service provider point of view, but I’ll try to remove my bias where feasible. Summary: For many business needs, a virtualized server on a hosting providers infrastucture is very cost More >
